West of Ebolden, Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As the midsummer season approached, there was a little commotion in the castle, which was usually peaceful and quiet, or rather like a pool of stagnant water, and the whole wizard's tower became much more lively.

This ancient festival can even be traced back to before the establishment of empires, or even the era of the origin of human civilization, with a celebration of the birth of a bountiful harvest. Merchants would come from far and wide, families would spend their little savings on the day, and aristocrats would indulge in endless feasts one after another.

From the first new moon in the middle of summer to the next full moon for 30 days, there will be countless revelries, events and performances all over the streets of Ebolden. As one of the largest cities in the empire, Ebolden's midsummer festival even attracts the lords of the surrounding principalities.

And for the wizards of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, this year's Midsummer Festival is even more special than previous years - the Bellini family has announced that they will officially announce to the entire Eberden at this Midsummer Festival banquet that Aalto Bellini's research results can cure all diseases, and even bring the severed limbs back to life!

Not only the apprentices, but even many wizards began to gather in a corner of the castle to discuss, especially now that the festival was approaching, the Bellini family also began to distribute invitations to the banquet, whether they could get an invitation or not, it almost became a "sign" between the wizards and the apprentices to measure their respective differences.

Whenever an apprentice receives a precious "invitation" from a servant of the Bellini family almost "honorably", he will immediately receive countless envious, jealous and hateful glances from his surroundings, and enjoy all kinds of prayers from those around him like a victor who has won the laurel.

Of course, there were some "fanatical" apprentices who wanted to find another way to ask the servants who came to deliver the invitations if they needed some "waiters" on the day of the banquet - such as serving plates and the like, and it would be better if they could be close to the banquet center.

............ "Ancient Rune Classics?"

Peter Fasa took the dusty book from the bookshelf and piled it on the table with another pile of old books, his big round eyes looking at Loren across the desk, and let out a long sigh of relief: "That's all—if you don't count the antiques that have been reduced to pieces, and the private collections of some wizards." ”

"I'm so sorry that I want you to come and help me. The black-haired wizard had a constant smile on his face, "Is there anything you can thank you for?"

"Thank you, no, it's just a gesture!" Peter smiled completely childishly, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Anyway, I'm also idle and panicked at the gate, I have nothing to do, just come over and help!"

"Of course...... If you insist. The young wizard's face suddenly turned red: "Can you lend me your Black Feather Eagle for a while? Just take a look...... By the way, I'll just take a little bit! I will definitely not do anything crooked!"

"You're welcome. Loren's gaze slanted to the shelf next to the laboratory, and the squeaky Asrael's eyes widened, like a pet cat that was about to be abandoned by his ruthless owner, and then gave Peter an understanding smile:

"No problem at all, you can take as long as you want!"

"Thank you so much, I'll definitely repay you!" this is Peter Fasha.

"It's so ruthless to betray me for a little favor?!"

Ignoring a "teenager" who was screaming heartbreakingly and being hugged aside by Peter Fasa with a smirk, Loren's attention was completely focused on the pile of old books in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Just like at Wimpal Academy, the only way to progress in spells is to search for all sorts of materials, examples and ancient runes that you can use.

The only difference is that at that time I had Isaac Grantham's walking library, but now I have to find them one by one - in order to perfect the structure of the magic circle.

If the casters of this world want to use high-level spells, there are two ways - the first is to completely engrave the spell in their own spiritual hall, which can be used at any time and place, greatly reducing the damage of the void power to the body, the disadvantage is that the space of the spiritual hall is limited, and the engraved spell will reduce the efficiency of meditation and the void.

The second is the ancient rune, that is, the use of spells by chanting spells, the biggest advantage is that there is no upper limit of the type, the disadvantage is that the spell is very long, the power of the void will cause serious erosion to the body, and the power of the spell will also be limited, and it is very dull to use.

Of course, there is a third type in between--self-created spells, just like Loren's "Turin Fire", this spell is completely part of the spiritual temple, not only can it be controlled freely, but also has a lot of room for growth, and the disadvantage is that, like the first one, it will encroach on the space of the spiritual temple.

If you make a comparison, the first one is like learning the spell completely, and the second is reading from the script, and the advantages and disadvantages of both methods are very obvious.

The magic circle is between the first and the second, it is a product of "compromise", it also needs some space in the spiritual hall, and it cannot change the form of the spell itself, but it does not need to chant the spell, and the magic circle itself will also increase the power of the spell and greatly reduce the damage of the power of the void.

What Loren had to do was try to find the right balance between the two - that is, to compress the space needed, but at the same time increase the efficiency of spellcasting.

It's not an easy task, but it's a great deal to increase your hole cards, and you can use this reason to get in and out of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower and find all the information you need.

Plus a suitable identity to allow yourself to blend in with the Bellini family's midsummer feast...... Of course, the premise is that you can actually get an invitation.

"The Bellini family's summer feast...... Have you heard?" Peter Fasa, who was still fiddling with Asrael, suddenly turned his head and looked at him with curiosity: "Mentor Birdlaire has already received an invitation, but he doesn't seem to be going there." What about you?"

"Me?" Loren paused and chuckled, "I'm just a spellcaster from a foreign land, they can't send an invitation to every wizard, can they?"

Peter Fasa was stunned for a moment, then sighed wistfully, his expression ashen:

"It's getting harder and harder for me to understand, it's unbearable for you geniuses to be humble - seriously, if you don't have the qualifications to go, then at least more than half of the wizards in the entire spell science are not qualified!"

"But it seems to be a possibility. After all, you made Master Verlo Bellini lose such a big face that day, he is not a big man, and he is also the mentor of Aalto Bellini, if he insists on opposing it......"

As he spoke, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and a young man with a serious expression and a rather simple dress walked in, with his hands behind his back: "Is this the laboratory of His Excellency Ain Rand?"

Although it is a question, the tone alone is already extremely determined, and it is completely undeniable.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Standing up without moving, the black-haired wizard walked up to him, "I'm the one you're looking for." ”

"I'm here to deliver invitations. ”

The expressionless servant handed Loren a letter of exquisite workmanship and a ribbon envelope: "Miss Ariel Corona of the Corona family, I invite you to come with you to the theatre at Eberden tonight - although it is a bit abrupt, but please give an answer now, whether or not you accept the invitation?"

Ignoring Peter Fasa, who was already stunned behind him, he looked at the invitation card in his hand, Loren's face had a little more smiling expression, and he casually put the envelope in his arms:

"It's not a gentleman's job to turn down a lady's invitation, is it?"
